The question that I get asked most frequently about being a full-time blogger is “How do you get anything done working from home?” which is usually followed up with something like, “I am so unmotivated when I’m at home. If I were you, all I’d do is stay in my PJs, watch TV, and sleep.” [Continue Reading…]

I am not a clothing shopaholic for a few reasons: one, I can’t afford to be; two, I usually don’t like/wouldn’t wear whatever is “trendy,” and three, I don’t have time to go shopping very often. I have a very classic style, so I can wear the same pieces for years at a time (and I [Continue Reading…]

Breakups suck. I never type that word here, but today I am. Because breakups really, really suck. They’re awkward and uncomfortable and sad and stressful and painful and hard and every other terrible thing. And it really doesn’t matter whether you’re the one ending things or he is, it stings either way. Before I met [Continue Reading…]

When planning our wedding (which you can read all about here), the most important thing to me was making sure that it felt like us. I wanted our venue, our clothing, our food, our ceremony, our invitations, our signage, our décor, our music–all of it, everything–to feel like us. I was not interested in a “cookie [Continue Reading…]

Sometimes, the dailies wear me right out. You know, the laundry and the cooking and the cleaning and the dog and the dishes and the bed-making and the I-just-washed-the-floor-yesterday-how-is-it-already-dirty-again? All the little things that are never, ever done. Because you can do a load of laundry every day and still have more to do tomorrow. [Continue Reading…]

Are you Etsy obsessed? I am. (If you don’t know, Etsy is a peer-to-peer e-commerce site with a focus on handmade goods!) Etsy is the first place I go when I’m purchasing a gift, looking for home décor, or searching for an interesting piece of jewelry or a unique outfit. I even used to have [Continue Reading…]

During my sophomore year of college, I fell extremely ill with mononucleosis. My recovery was very, very long (over seven months), and my body was very, very weak. I was exhausted all the time, my appetite was iffy at best, and my muscles had wasted away to nothing. It was terrible! A few months into my mono [Continue Reading…]

Because I cook every day, I’ve become efficient at making dinner each night. Like anything, cooking (and the preparation behind it) is a skill that has to be learned. Luckily for me, on both my mom and my dad’s side of the family, there are many great and efficient cooks. As I was growing up, [Continue Reading…]

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Burt’s Bees. All opinions are 100% mine. It’s the beginning of the year, and though I’m not big on New Year’s resolutions (more about that here), I do love a fresh start. New calendars and planners, a clean home, and a refreshed look all [Continue Reading…]
